Ok, so it's pretty obvious that I could use something a bit better than what I have for my contrived lighting environment. Right now I have 2 x $10 walmart lamps with fluorescent bulbs in them. It sort of works, for some things, some times.
I plan on eventually getting a reasonable lighting setup downstairs. I haven't looked much into flash work yet -- just "always on" lighting. I do have a single flash unit 580 EXII, but won't be able to build on that environment until i have more money set aside and probably after I invest in new glass.
So, given that wife will only let me spend $50 to $75 right now, what's the best ideas you guys have for getting better lighting for my "studio" type stuff? I could get *more* light by simply using more lamps, though that feels week and inflexible. Are there more serviceable setups by going to (admittedly very low end) photography-targeted lamps of some sort in that price range?
Thanks!
Kevin
